Hi,

I am looking to upgrade from an 64 MB All-In-Wonder 8500 DV, I have planning
to purchase a Digital Tuner card, so I no longer need an all in wonder type
card. I was considering getting an 128 MB Asus Geforce FX 5200 Video Suite.
However, I am wondering will this give me any better performance when
playing SimCity 4 Rush Hour? Does anyone play SimCity 4 Rush Hour with a
GeForce FX 5200 card? If so are you happy with the performance?
Unfortunately the Radeon 8500 suffers from slow scrolling, I am hoping to at
least get rid of this problem. I am looking at the 5200 because it is very
cheap, and considering I don't play many other games it looks like a good
choice value wise. I can't really justify spending much more than AUD$150
(US$80) on a new card.

Thank you,

Simon Howson

Mmm the question is yet up there... ah

Umm the FX5200 is damn slow! And I don't think you will get an
improvement in playing SimCity 4... maybe the 128Mb member allows up
to keep more of it in the graphic memory but that's all. The FX5200 is
fast like a 40 year old rusty bike with sport spoilers!
